We are a registered charity and hold the annual in a different part of the country each year. This year, we are delighted that we have been invited to hold it close to you – on land near Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton by kind permission of K S Coles and family. It will be held on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th October.
This amazing event offers a rare glimpse of farming and how our farming heritage has changed over the last 200 years – there are magnificent heavy horses and many styles of vintage tractors all ploughing alongside the most up-to-date machinery of the present day. There are also trade stands, shopping, crafts, tractor and trailer rides and steam ploughing engines, so it’s a great day out for all the family.
It is a national event and visitors will travel from all over the country to visit the Championships and we don’t want local residents to miss out – the one thing we hear afterwards is: “I would have gone if I’d heard about it”! Unfortunately, as a charity we don’t have a huge advertising budget, so I am writing to you and all the other parish councils in the area in the hope that you may be able to help us and advertise the attached poster in your parish magazine, or perhaps display a poster and/or some leaflets in your local area?
Many thanks, in anticipation, for your help and if you would like any further information, or any posters or leaflets mailing out, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
Sue
